Doctor : Hi
Doctor : How can I help you?
User : I have a question, I am a 29/f who hasn't had a period since Aug. I have taken about 10 tests, all neg...I am freaking because #1 I am naturally a hypochondriac, and I am nervous and anxious about my health all the time,and #2, I am paranoid about having an ectopic pregnancy. I am also on Elavil and i have read that that can cause an increase in prolactin, causing you to not ovulate, is there any truth to this? Any other reasons why I might be missing my periods?
Doctor : firstly even in ectopic pregnancy the test will be positive
Doctor : so ectopic pregnancy is ruled out
User : ok, any other comments?
Doctor : yes
Doctor : and elavil tablet will cause menstrual irregularities
User : i wasnt sure if that was common or not, so i thought i would ask. do you think i should go see the doctor?
Doctor : some studies say that tab alavil will cause postponement of periods
Doctor : are u there?
Doctor : hello
User : yes i am here
Doctor : yes
Doctor : tab elavil causes postponement of periods
Doctor : but from when are u taking elavil?
User : i started taking it mid july, had a period in july, then one in aug but it was lighter than usual, and then no period in sept and none so far this month
Doctor : then mostly tab elavil may be the culprit
User : i was thinking that but im always so skeptical about believing anything ,i always want to look for the worst
User : is there a way to wean myself off of it?
Doctor : yes but u should not stop it sudden;y
Doctor : u should slowly reduce the dose and then withdraw the drug
User : ok, do you know how long it would take to get out of my system?
